SO EXCITED!

I just have to say that I'M SO EXCITED! Next week I'm flying sans CHILDREN to Jacksonville, FL for our church's women's conference. Yes...I will be without 3 children...all by myself. That means sitting in an airport actually getting to look at people rather than pray they didn't see what my child just did to their luggage. I get to read a magazine and not wonder if one the kids has hitched a ride on the airport shuttle and is now headed to Hawaii (FUN!) without me. I get to sit in an airplane not caring how long we have to wait because one (or all) of my kids are FREAKING out and kicking seats and trying to get free and......well, you know. Now, I do have to mention that our children are very good world travelers, for the most part. They have their moments but usually traveling with them is a joy. However....I'M SO EXCITED!

Besides that...I'm looking forward to our churchs conference. A couple of the amazing women on the speaking list are Priscilla Shire and Holly Wagner. There are other great ones but these two are the one's I am particuarlly looking forward to hearing. It will be 3 days of worship and prayer and fellowship and ministering. I just get chills thinking about it. I get to see 3 of my BEST friends ever too! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! Totally SQUEEELING.

Okay, I think I'm good now. I just had to share and I know all you moms out there know what a thrilling break is in my future. This will be the first time I have been away from my children for longer than day. I know Buddy can handle it (we have ALL our friends on standby), but it has always been me with the kids and him gone. The tables are turning and I'm nervous...but SO EXCITED. :) You get the picture!
